I think its time to move on from Jefferson. He's going to be 35, he's had declining production the past two seasons, he takes plays off and he costs too much money. Too be honest, he seems to get a pass from many here, while other players don't.

If they had hired Derrick P. Jenkins from Paloma Tech University would you be as critical? or does the name “Jake Thomas” just make you feel things

wonder how much holm got? i’m mentally preparing for it to be kramdi level pay. Despite a few heavy over pays, a solid free agency period and draft will have us in A grade off season territory imo. Based on the addition by subtraction I have us on the fringe of an A minus/B plus. We need a cfl calibre qb coach, and need to address atleast two of wr/ol/dl in free agency with legit cfl starters. Then we need to have a solid crop of draft picks while adding depth with real upside also at wr/dl/ol.

The Stamps in one day lost DL Jaylon Hutchings, Rec Mario Alford & LB Jason Roberts to the NFL. That's brutal. I don't care what people say about how great it is for our players to make an NFL team, this just kills interest in the CFL. And really hurts a team like the Stamps struggling to find relevancy in a local market where barely anyone cares anymore. It's like the Stamps are perpetually rebuilding. NFL teams need to compensate CFL teams if they sign anyone under a valid CFL contract. This system is unfair the way it is. It could be us next time. Hate it.

If we don't allow players the chance to go south as soon as they're able, they just won't come here in the first place. So we're still ******.

Our interior is more of a problem than our D Ends. if we had two guys who could push inside controlling the run & pressuring the passer I;m sure our Ends play would improve greatly. Instead we had this Cheeto defense witha 3 man front featured with jake Thomas. He's gone now sort of. I have hope they actually want to see an improvement.

Personally I wouldn't be as critical hiring any existing coach but sitting through a season with an unqualified OC is currently affecting my opinion on inexperienced coaches. If Thomas had retired and coached at a lower level for a season or two before getting the position, i would have zero issues with it but I also can appreciate that a DL coach is nowhere near as impactful as an OC so it's not an apples to apples comparison.

Ho hum another L. Calm blue ocean. Calm blue ocean. Serenity now.

And just now Schiefs gets mugged and pulled down right in front of the ref and no call. That's b******* And of course Vegas scores to tie it up. Vlad passes up a golden opportunity to shoot.

To be fair, the Jets are a big reason why Vegas is off their game. Stone interfered with Schenn off the draw, then ends up scoring. I wish officials would pay more attention to that type of interference…. It happens a lot and it’s rarely called.

Agreed. I also don’t think he’s a great veteran leader. Being loud doesn’t mean leading. Dude takes plays off every game.

Thankfully, Castillo makes more than he misses. I just remember the video in 2014 of Liram Hajrullahu making trick field goals from all different angles inside & outside of PAS. He kicked one from inside the concourse, another from the roof of the stadium, one from inside the bathroom with the door closed, the parking lot & even made one from the roof of a moving car on Pembina Highway northbound. Then goes out next game & misses 4 field goals & two converts. Last game he ever played for us. Justin Medlock replaced him.

Yup...We need the veteran and a guy who can still play in a nice rotational role....I dint think he has declined to the point of uselessness and over pay...and heck...we do that ad nauseum here so anyway....so why stop I wanna see him perform outside the stupidity that they had him playing last yr to determine the value....of he looks cooked in camp...surprise cut or trade Nichols...WJ...Lawson...Holm...Kramdi is a good core group to build around with youth, guess you can toss T .Jones in there as well so so 6 2nd/3rd yr guys and rookies to that mix will be an esy transition The ability to field 4...5 imports with Lawson and Bailey on the dline with the fact we should be able to have one of or more of Kramdi....Shay...Smith and hopefully Makonzo at any given time will have us light yrs away from last few yrs with slugs like Thomas...Korn...Gauthier...Scmeck (tho he has a role now)....Hallett flailing at ball carriers

I just think we need waaaay more from our Dline including our Defensive ends. Way more if we want to change the narrative to how we want to be known as a D coming into 2026.

Lifted from the Winnipeg Sun: “I don’t think I’ve ever been in a situation where there’s so many guys having slumps at the same time,” Niederreiter said. “I went and backtracked and I’m always slumping around the same time, which is this time, so it’s nothing new to me. The only new part is that we lose a lot of hockey games, which makes it even harder.” I find this such an odd thing to say, like yup it's that time of the year I go into a slump nothing out of order here, no biggie, nothing new. lol

This team is a dumpster fire. Something has to give.

I agree that things are going well so far in the internal offseason.... All the re-signings have been good players... all the releases have been the right players... when it come to the old guys debate - Neufeld, Big Stan, Willie, and Wilson - I think Wilson should be the only obvious cut... the other three still have a place at the right price... some quality up-and-comers on D like Smith, Shay, Woodbey, Allen and a quality DL addition in FA would be the one big thing I'm hoping for..... we need that force in the middle we've been missing since Stove...

I remember when Holm was one of Booch’s original whipping boys.

Holm is outstanding... A worthy All Star recipient. Stoked to have him back.

I love the timing of this post after booch questions if we're moving on from him.

Speaking of that I heard McKenna currently makes approx $700,000 dollars playing for Penn State.

If Kramdi can walk, he will be starting im sure. Allen showed some brilliant flashes at S, but I would love to flip-flop him and Kramdi. I don't love Kramdi + Holm, but as long as we don't fall in love with a really bad db out of camp, yet again, the secondary will be very good. I think DL, and flipping the ratio at 1 lber spot is far more critical to the success of the D.

With Kolankowski gone and Thomas sorta gone, O'Shea will be dangerously low on pets, so Kramdi is golden.

I don't know why they don't just let Castillo do it all

Goosen...Fortin...among others Woodbey should be our SAM and also an almost Jack at times off the edge of line....Griffin as well if resigned, tho not in a jack spot...Griffin and Nichols as the HB's as well would be ideal...and we get more physical with Woodbey and Griffin playing starter reps Smith as well needs to be playing majority of reps at WIL and even in the role Woodbey had... correct guys....and this also has to go hand in hand with not predetermining and being rigis with ratio based on how we ran it before....just negates talent on roster from actually playing if camp shows Kramdi is not best player at SAM....does Osh start him anyway...cause thats Osh...And they have to justify his stupid salary?...Probably....and that right there makes us weaker on defence...

If we actually let our Canadain LB's we drafted play...then the DA spot used on Castillo is moot and we can get the extra DA on roster in a "backup" capacity...I would tho draft a global....or find a Canadian kid to groom into doing all 3 tho....that should also be a priority this off-season
